FBI spent two years considering whether to buy clandestine spyware Phantom that can hack into ANY phone in the US
|
- The FBI reportedly spent two years considering whether it should have used a clandestine spyware tool from an Israeli firm that can hack into any phone in US
- The spyware has been found in the cellphones of the likes of a Human Rights Watch investigator as well as Finnish diplomats working abroad
- US government agencies were contacted by the NSO Group, an Israel's notorious cyberweapons firm, multiple times between 2019 and last summer
- The two-years where US agencies considered procuring the spyware, dubbed 'Phantom,' happened at a time when NSO became the subject of controversy
- The country's top law enforcement agency ultimately did not purchase or procure the spyware software
- Critics of the firm had levied accusations of worldwide human rights abuses
- The US's interest was due to the fact that the firm's primary spyware does not work on US phone numbers and therefore couldn't be used in investigations
Uh huh
